HOW TIE CITY LOOKS.
BY yesterday noon the business
houses were clothed in their best de-
corative attire and the city now pre-
sents an attractive appearance. The
double arch connects the four corners
of First and Main, wreathed with green
boughs, and the words, welcome Fire
men, which salutes the incoming Wis
itor stretches across Main street near
this point. AT the upper end of Main,
near Fourth, the words Mitchell Gates
are Open" greet the eye. The Gale
block, Letcher block and Rowley's cor
ner are quite elaborately decorated
with flags and red, white and blue
bunting.
